Whether you're hitting the town for date night or rocking a daytime brunch with friends, this très romantique braided bun is the no-fail hair that'll get you there! Follow along beauty pro Les Ciseaux de Marie's simple steps straight from the lens of Ingrid Lepan.

PREP HAIR:Curl sections of hair with a curling iron to add texture to hair.

SEPARATE HAIR:Section off hair and split from ear to ear.

CREATE VOLUME:Using your brush, tease volume into the back of the hair by backcombing, (brushing repeatedly towards the scalp.) Once teased, flatten hair to a reasonable height and secure with a hair band.

CREATE FRENCH BRAID:On the same side as your part, create a french braid along the side of your scalp and secure it with bobby pins underneath the teased section of hair on the back of your head. Next, secure loose strands from the opposite side with bobby pins underneath the same section.
